Yet again excellent work for the community Aggror ... many thanks

[AggrorJorn]

always a pleasure.

 

@pancakes: yes actually, I studied the effects of tutorial creation back in the days at the ERC-GDN (European Research Center of Game Developer Needs). Only back then I had to test my theories on living marmots. (no marmots were severly damaged during testing.)

Very nice.

 

1) What are you using to make these? Everything runs and sounds very nice.

 

2) You should do a tutorial in auto-tune. T-Pain style

 

Keep up the good work!

@Rick,

1) I stil have a license for Camtasia 6. It works really well, accept when working inside the editor or when a project is run. But for normal screen recording it is perfect. nice video editor, some good effects and many render formats (mp4, swf, flv, avi and more). As a matter of fact I think that this tutorial has actually less detail then other. The problem I have is that I need to record at a resolution of 1440 x 900. I want to produce the quality as high as possible but that can be tricky. Camtasia also has a build in noice reductor and voice amplificator. This comes in handy to remove the background noise like, computer fans, cats miauwing, airplanes that fly over etc.

 

The newer version of camtasia has functions for better ingame recording but camtasia is too pricy to buy for myself. So I am going to stick with the license that I have from my ex trainee company.

 

2) that makes things very cool. making tutorials fun and educational at the same time can cost a lot of time though. But keeping jokes in it like with the sound tutorial ending (lady gaga on high pitch) is a lot of fun.

..cats miauwing

 

when i first looked at that i had no idea what that meant... then i said it aloud and whaddyaknow...

Yeah I didn't really take the time to translate it to English. But once you try to pronounce it, it is exactly the same. B)
